Qawwali ....Nasrut Fateh Ali Khan
Thanks all for the terrific responses...Erider/Jazzcourier: is this the album set that you are referring to? Looks to be quite pricey!!http://www.amazon.com/Paris-Concerts-Complete-Vol-1-5/dp/B000056B7S/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=music&qid=12396... 
Nick Drake and others like him
Yes, I find that the thing that ,above all else, draws one to Nick Drake is a sense of profound mystery in his songs...the deep attachment to something perhaps he himself could not get a handle on-something that ultimately overwhelmed him. ...that...

Checked out the Alexi Murdoch...wow. I really like Time without Consequence. That was an immediate purchase. Also, Tim/Jeff Buckley...liked those too. Am still in the process of checking the other stuff out. Thanks all!

Sunday morning music...what's spinning?
Juan Carlos Formell...songs from a little blue house...defines Sunday morning for me...if it's sunny.

A Tribute to the Sequerra MET 7
It is interesting... Mine do not have any grills whatsoever... I think that the grilled versions were the very first ones...rather crude in presentation from what I see on Ebay..etc. The cabinet looks much more low brow on those earlier models. Th... 
Inexpensive high efficiency bookshelf speakers
Sequerra MET 7 Mk VI. I have the Mark II but its essentially the same design. I can't tell you how much I've enjoyed these speakers. I replaced a pair of Vandersteen 2CEs as I had to travel to Africa to live and needed something portable. I was fl... 
Vienna Beethoven, Spendor 8SE, Adagio or VS VR4jr
No you should be just fine if Rober Lee is shipping them. He will ship them on a pallet to you. My tweeters were clicking on and off...I bought mine second hand and they were not shipped on a pallet. It is very noticalbe....all the air collapses a... 
Vienna Beethoven, Spendor 8SE, Adagio or VS VR4jr
Hi there,I own the Adagios and I agree that if you want an open, airy top end then they are great for that. The ribbon tweeter really opens up air. I use mine with a Sophia tube amp and I've heard that the ribbon tweeter can get harsh using solid ... 
Monitors for Extreme Near-field listening
Sequerra MET 7.7 Mark II, IV or VI ....I have a pair of Acoustic Adagios which cost 5 times what these cost. I just hooked these back up and I still love them. They are an older design, kind of ugly and relatively unknown and yet anyone who ever o...

What's next for the ultimate sound quality?
Gleb, you seem like practical type guy. I would suggest that if you're going to play around in tubes that you don't go all the way to some incredibly expensive amps...you can do pretty nicely with an upgraded Dynaco St-70...with mods from either C... 
Dimple in speaker driver cone
A yes, two weeks back the same thing happend to me! A mischevious child when and punched in the dust caps on one of my Sequerra montiors (no grills)---more than just quarter size...all the way. When I told my wife about it, he overheard and prompl... 
Travails of Adagio burn-in...include tweeters?
Wow. Called Robert Lee of Acoustic Zen who told me to send the tweeters back to him and he will get the problem solved. Given that I am not the original owner and purchased these second hand, that's a very generous offer. He mentioned that they ta...
